How to import PGN into lichess from chesscom without it saying “game ended in a draw” • page 1/1 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

AHeroRises edited

I’m pretty sure this is just a bug with chess.com game exports - in that the PGNs that it generates are interpreted by lichess as a draw, when they’re really wins.

For example, the following pgn is a win for black - but when I import it into lichess, it says “game ended as a draw”.

For example - I imported this PGN and I get:

(which says that the game is a draw - when it’s not).

What can I do to fix this? Is there something I need to change manually in the PGN to fix this?

Thanks!

"[Termination "(null)"]"
You should change this. I'm not sure though.

@AHeroRises Change the Result tag to "0-1".

For the standard see here. Look at section 8.1.1.7 on the Result tag.

That worked, thanks!!!

For anyone who is wondering - it looks like this: [Result 0-1]

First of all, a PGN must contain following tags in this particular order: Event, Site, Date, Round, White, Black, Result.

Secondly, Result tag should be [Result "0-1"]. 1-0 white won, 0-1 black won, 1/2-1/2 draw, * ongoing game/result unknown.
Both Result tag and move body should specify the result, e.g. 31.Ka4 {12:40} {AHeroRises wins by Resignation} 0-1
Date in almost ISO format, except that it uses dots instead og hyphens/minuses, i.e. [Date "yyyy.mm.dd"], e.g.
[Date "2020.05.17"]. If value is unknown replace with ?, e.g. [Date "????.??.??"] or [Event "?"]

also,when you import a game ,does it also upload the game onto the opening explorer? i feel that your database is a bit outdated and if this were to happen it would really improve its quality

No, I don't think it does. And also, I don't see how importing random games, which may contain random data would improve the quality. On the contrary, it would decrease it.
